[Owfs-developers] Problems with AAG TAI8558/DS2408 and DS9097U

All, After successfully installing OWFS and reading some 1wire data with a DS9097U and a blue dot connector, I added some devices and problems started to appear My setup is as follows: Software - openSuSE 10.3 owfs 2.6p8 or 2.7p3 Hardware -- Profilic PL2303 Serial/USB

Hi, Chris Maresca: After successfully installing OWFS and reading some 1wire data with a DS9097U and a blue dot connector, I added some devices and problems started to appear How did you wire the AAG to your bus? The RJ12(?) pin-out which the thing uses is decidedly non-standard, IIRC.

I just plugged it together with some RJ11 cabling. Both the RJ11 cable and the blue dot cable have the same wires connected (green and red, if you are looking at them from the latch side). Perhaps the sockets are wired differently? According to AAG's manual, the RJ11 socket is wired with

The AAG microhub (DS2409-based) humidity probe (DS2438 based) and barometer (DS2406x2) all work perfectly with OWFS. The TAI8558 http://www.aagelectronica.com/pdf%20docs/TAI_8558.pdf is a DS2408, but looks like it needs to be powered, or have something done with JP1. The TAI8555

You know, I am using the cable AAG sent with the units (I think, they were all in the same storage box, but it was 2-3 years ago...) and they do have a X-over in them. That would be the problem then Let me go find or make some proper cable. Duh, do I feel like an idiot. 20 years of

You aren't using telephone cable, are you? The phone standard has a cross-over in it. If you hold the two ends of your RJ11 cable side-by-side in the same orientation, the colors should be in the same order. Paul Alfille On Feb 18, 2008 6:18 PM, Chris Maresca [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just

Just to answer this as well, I did have the TAI8558 powered externally, but, as you pointed out, it's probably the cabling itself. Chris. Paul Alfille wrote: The AAG microhub (DS2409-based) humidity probe (DS2438 based) and barometer (DS2406x2) all work perfectly with OWFS. The TAI8558

Well, that was it. Just went out an bought some connectors, a crimper and wire. I can now see all the devices. Now to figure out why OW.pm doesn't work But I'll start another thread for that. Chris. Chris Maresca wrote: You know, I am using the cable AAG sent with the units (I

Hi, Chris Maresca: Duh, do I feel like an idiot. 20 years of doing network/computer crap has apparently taught me nothing... Apparently it taught you that cables are always correctly crimped, so checking them is Not Necessary. On the plus side, even if it now proves to be incorrect, it's a

Actually, it taught me that I have no idea how phones work. I never knew phone cables had a crossover until now. Not that it really matters, since I haven't had a hardwired phone for 10 years But it's working fine, now I'm off to figure out how to use OW.pm. From the looks of the
